2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is a complete fifth-generation redesign. Its biggest change is a longer, boxier body with standard three-row seating on every U.S. trim.
About the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe
5th generation, first year; complete redesign
Hyundai positions the Santa Fe as a family-focused three-row SUV built for everyday errands, road trips, and weekend activities. Its defining traits are the upright, space-efficient body, flexible seating and cargo area, large standard touchscreen, broad safety technology, and a choice of strong gas or fuel-saving hybrid power. It sits below the larger Palisade while offering a more outdoors-oriented shape and easier-to-manage dimensions than many traditional midsize three-row SUVs.
The redesigned Santa Fe ranges from the practical SE to the comfort-focused Limited and six-seat Calligraphy. The XRT adds standard AWD, raised ground clearance, and a 4,500-pound towing rating, while Calligraphy brings quilted Nappa leather, power second-row captain’s chairs, and more advanced highway driving assistance.
What changed, by category
Structural
A longer redesigned body creates more passenger and cargo room. Every U.S. trim has a third row; Calligraphy seats six with second-row captain’s chairs, while the other trims seat seven.
Styling
The fifth-generation Santa Fe adopts a more upright, boxy exterior shape.
Powertrain
Gas models move to a 277-hp 2.5-liter turbo engine with an eight-speed automatic. The 231-hp hybrid is offered in SEL, Limited, and Calligraphy; SEL Hybrid and Calligraphy Hybrid join the range, while the Limited Plug-In Hybrid is dropped.
Tech
A 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a hands-free power liftgate become standard across the range.
Safety
The standard driver-assistance package expands to include adaptive cruise control, lane following, forward collision avoidance, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic collision avoidance.
